A Cut Above Tree Service
About A Cut Above Tree Service
A Cut Above Tree Service is a tree and land-clearing business in Volcano, California. Gilbert Self founded it in 2012. It works across Amador, Calaveras, and El Dorado Counties, with jobs in Jackson, Pine Grove, Pioneer, Volcano, West Point, San Andreas, Arnold, Somerset, Grizzly Flats, and Placerville. The business is a licensed California tree and palm contractor, fully licensed and insured, and its arborists are ISA certified. The work covers brush and tree clearing. The crew uses a masticator, a machine that works like a powerful lawn mower, to chew up blackberries, scotch broom, buck brush, manzanita, and small trees under 10 inches across. Other jobs include defensible space for fire safety, storm cleanup, lot preparation for construction, fencing, or agriculture, and tree pruning and removal. Recent jobs include removing a large oak. Bucket trucks, grinders, and chippers handle the rest. Mastication leaves "a fine covering of mulch over the treated areas," which helps lessen dust and erosion. A job starts with a free estimate. The crew responds quickly, looks at the property, and assesses access and terrain before clearing begins. It is on standby around the clock for urgent tree removal. It suits a landowner in Amador, Calaveras, or El Dorado County who needs brush, small trees, or hazardous trees cleared, and who wants a local crew to walk the land before work starts.
